Association between strategies to prevent COVID-19 infection in long-term care facilities and mortality: the PIANO-COVID-19 study, a French multicentre cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Evidence for the effectiveness of strategies that aimed to prevent COVID-19 infection on reducing mortality in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) is limited. Our aim was to investigate the association between strategies aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection and risk of death.

Design

We compared strategies that aimed to prevent COVID-19 infection (eg, screening and isolation), characteristics of 107 LTCFs and their 8028 residents and mortality classified as all-cause deaths, COVID-19-related death and COVID-19-unrelated death.
